In this paper, two short stories by two young Ecuadorian writers, Mónica Ojeda and María Fernanda Ampuero, are analyzed in detail through the “debris-bodies” removal strategy proposed by the writer and academic Karina Marín. This, in order to demonstrate the nature of a bodily, explicit, mundane violence that inhabits this literature due to its daily nature and its normalization. The feminized bodies in the narratives of Ecuadorian canonical literature are represented from inferiority and uselessness, and therefore, violated. The works of Ojeda, Ampuero and other new writers not only vindicate these bodies, but also expose their bruises as the symptom of a dangerous, critical and unfair internal erasure.Downloads
